Puffit is a Hong Kong-run clothing store with no threat detections, but buyers report costly returns and a refused refund
Puffit is an online clothing store whose own pages name meihan Technology Limited, with an address in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, as the business behind it. The domain is almost four years old, and the security checks found nothing harmful. Two an independent review platform's reviews describe problems after purchase. One says an £18 return charge plus postage was not made clear. The other says a refund was refused after two jackets were sent back. The store also lists only a generic service@ mailbox and no phone number. We found no sign of malware or phishing, but the customer-service complaints place this store in Moderate Risk rather than Safe.

Investigation Brief
Puffit is an online clothing store whose own pages name meihan Technology Limited, with an address in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, as the business behind it. The domain is almost four years old, and the security checks found nothing harmful. Two an independent review platform's reviews describe problems after purchase. One says an £18 return charge plus postage was not made clear. The other says a refund was refused after two jackets were sent back. The store also lists only a generic service@ mailbox and no phone number. We found no sign of malware or phishing, but the customer-service complaints place this store in Moderate Risk rather than Safe.
What buyers and the store's own pages show
One an independent review platform's reviewer said it was unclear that the store charges £18 for returns, on top of the postage the customer must pay. Another reviewer said the store refused to refund two returned jackets. These are two individual reviews, not proof of a pattern across all orders.
For contact, the store lists the mailbox service@puffit.com and no phone number was captured. Its stated operator is a company in Hong Kong. Many genuine cross-border shops are set up this way, but it gives buyers fewer ways to pursue a dispute.
Technical safety versus customer risk
None of 93 antivirus engines flagged the site, the browser threat feed raised no warning, and the connection is properly encrypted. These results mean no threats were detected; they do not show how the store handles orders, returns or refunds.
The pages offer 10% off a first order, a Shop Now path that stays on puffit.com, and an email newsletter signup.
Why the score is 60
The store gives a generic service@ mailbox as its contact, a pattern repeated across fake-shop networks. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
